Marilyn Monroe was an actress. She had talent and beauty. She also had a tragic childhood, and three marriages. KK did porn. She has no talent, and questionable beauty. Her childhood was marred by two immoral parents, her father stuck by a friend after it was obvious that the friend committed a double homicide, and her mother would sell one of her daughters if she could make a profit! But please don't compare the two. Marilyn is an American Icon, and Kim will never be anything but a narcissistic, vacuous, whore!!!

Anna Wintour is one of the few people in the industry who can see Kim for what she is– a piece of gutter trash. Kate Middleton returned the clothes that Kim sent her. Royals don't wear garbage. I hate the Kardashians. They're the reason I avoid magazine stands & I don't shop at Sears anymore. Talentless, famous-for nothing idiots. Kim dresses so slutty–even the hookers in West Hollywood look better than her. Please do not compare that plastic thing to someone like Marilyn Monroe who was beautiful & actually had talent. This reminds me of the moron who compared Taylor Swift to Bob Dylan. People remember Marilyn more than 40 years after her death. No one will care about Kim 10 years from now, especially Kanye West who will divorce her long before then when she shows her true colors.

Marilyn was self made, and had a rough start…a mentally ill mother and no father then shipped home to home and looking for a sense of a "normal" home and never achieved it.
Kim KarTRASHian was born with a silver spoon in her mouth in a upscale home with money and chose porn, narcissism and to be a gluttonous pig…remember "jealous" tagline?
There's no comparison….nothing beautiful about Kim

marilyn was sweet and innocent well came off that way and had a sad life and was used and shit kim k is a bitch obessed with money nothing sweet or innocent about her and marilyn could act and sing can kim k….nope i dont hate kim k though just shocked anyone would compare her with marilyn

Give me a minute to rinse the vomit from my mouth. Dimmie KarTrashDian beautiful and in fashion? Comparable to Marilyn? There is not one once of similarity between this media whore, human urinal and the iconic goddess of Marilyn Monroe. Exactly what is this Roitfeld looking for besides a headline?

People glorify the past. If Marilyn Monroe was alive today people would think she's a little trashy, back then it was more forgivable because she's beautiful, now it doesn't matter if you look good or not, you will be judged no matter what. She did sleep with a married man. I think that's a little worst than anything Kim's done.

They're both controversial, they're both gorgeous, and they both did Playboy. There are similarities.

I think that if Marilyn was around today she would be hounded by the press, called fat, made fun of and all the negative things that come with starlets today. But she is no Kim Kardashian. Marilyn may have had problems, but she had a rough childhood and mental illness. She was an actress trying fulfilled her dreams. Her story is sad.
Kim grew up to a wealthy family, partied with famous people and made a sex tape with a semi-famous person. Her only issue is being obsessed with herself.

I looked up Kanye on Wikipedia and I gathered that he has about as much fashion background as CocoPigass. And Marilyn wasn't known as a fashion icon. Her clothes were especially designed for her roles. I will say that Kim in black leather brings out the true beauty of an Angus cow.

So, the article is about how the Kardashian woman is being compared to the Monroe woman. The comment of C. Roitfeld doesn't compare Kardashiam to Monroe; unless saying that the green frog looks like grass puts the two in the same category. Lighten up you all .

Didn't read the article, and never heard of this person.
I was in middle school when JFK was running for President and in high school when he was shot, so I remember Marilyn Monroe although I did not watch her movies until much later. She was a lovely actress who actually had a nice comic touch, Kim K comes nowhere near her as far as looks and talent.

Shes just saying both their lives where chaotic…if you think that is comparing her to Marilyn Monroe in any other aspect, you are an idiot, Perez. Everytime anyone points out similarities of any sort between a celebrity (of whatever kind) and an icon you go crazy saying they are COMPARING them to that icon. That's just seems like poor comprehension.

LOL @ people who actually think Marilyn Monroe was talented, have you watched her movies? She got roles because she was beautiful or slept/married the director. She's an icon NOW only because she had a tragic life and died at a young age. She was not respected in her day; for instance in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes when she got paid less than Jane Russell.
This comparison isn't that far off, both of them are/were beautiful, talentless, controversial people.

Re: LOL – You are wrong. Marilyn Monroe was idolized in her day. Men loved her and women wanted to be like her. She had a child-like innocence about her. Many movie stars at that time slept their way to the top - including men. But they didn't realease sex tapes as embarrassing at KK's. Apparently you've never watched any of Marilyn's comical movies. I'm sure your mom has a television in her basement where you obviously live. Turn on TCM and check it out.

Re: mailbu's melting - Exactly! Such an insult comparing that piece of trash to Marilyn. Since when being beautiful and in fashion a "talent"????? (Not that I consider Kim beautiful at all.)Kim has ZERO talent.

She's "controversial" because she's a darkie-loving piss whore whose own mother capitalized on her sex tape to make millions. Kardashian is trash. Monroe was an idiot, and she was a bit of a slut, but she didn't sink to Kardashian's incredibly low, slimy level. Kim Kardashian would do all of us a huge favor if she too died SOON.

Kim kardashian is not beautiful or sexy….. every part of her body is plastic she's a meatball short and fat….. her boobs come with a warranty…… kim is short fat stumpy ugly face looks like an alien…. there's something wrong with her eyes….. if your gonna have your husband and friends say you look like marilyn monroe be prepared for the truth…. people will say it how it is and you should have picked a different star than marilyn…. marilyn was an orphan had no father a sick mother and no sisters brothers friends…. she was alone in the world….. no comparison kim was born with silver sppon in mouth huge close family… tons of brothers sisters close with mother and has no idea what its like to be alone in the world… very creepy kims father died she knew her fatherfor years and years had a close relationship with him! Has pictures and memories with her dad and that's a great thing…. kim is not an orphan or alone in any way….. get over yourself Kim
